What's the Deal with Bubbly and Foam?
Think of “sparkling wine” as the main term for a bubbly wine. Sparkling wine can come from anywhere. As you said, Champagne comes from the Champagne region in France. Cava is a term for Spanish sparkling wines; you’ve probably heard of Prosecco and Moscato d’Asti from Italy, and perhaps also Sekt from Germany. MCC is a South African term for a sparkling wine.
What is MCC?
Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) is the South African term for bottle-fermented sparkling wines, one of the most exciting categories of South African wine. Currently, the rule states that the wines must be fermented in the bottle and aged on their lees for at least 9 months.
In short: Méthode Cap Classique or MCC is the South African version of Champagne – these are South African sparkling wines produced according to the traditional Champagne method.
The term has been used since 1992 in response to the ban on using the terms “Champagne” and “Champenoise” for anything not from Champagne.
MCC is considered a premium category in South Africa, and the term “Méthode Cap Classique” will always appear on the label to clarify its classification. Although they cannot bear the name Champagne, South African wineries produce some truly excellent MCC wines!
South African MCC is known as one of the most versatile wines, as it can be enjoyed with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is known to pair well with dishes such as oysters, canapés, cheese, chicken, and fish, and sweeter MCCs can be combined with light curries and desserts.
Champagne, MCC, and Sparkling Wines – Are they all the same?
Yes/No! And we will explain everything so you don't order the wrong thing.
- Champagne: Although sparkling wine is produced worldwide, if you want to call your sparkling wine “Champagne,” it must legally come from the French region of Champagne and be produced according to the regulations of the Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne. These regulations are very strict and cover every aspect of Champagne production, from the cultivation and growing of the grapes to the processing and production of the finished wine.
- MCC: MCC and Champagne are produced using the same traditional French method, known as the méthode champenoise. The only difference between South African MCC and Champagne is where the grapes are grown. This makes South African MCC much more flexible in terms of the grape varieties used, and the winemaker has more scope to produce a truly excellent sparkling wine. MCC is a type of sparkling wine specifically produced using the traditional method, where carbon dioxide is introduced into the wine through a second fermentation and aging, which is not required for sparkling wine.
- Sparkling Wines: Even if sparkling wines are not as well-known as Méthod Cap Classique or Champagne, don't let that fool you – sparkling wines can be just as delicious and even more creative! Sparkling wine is a term that refers to any frothy, bubbly, or carbonated wine. Essentially, any non-still wine containing carbon dioxide bubbles is classified as sparkling wine.
MCC and Sparkling Wines. What is the Difference Between the Two Wines?
You can tell the difference if you look closely at the bubbles: An MCC has tiny bubbles with a fine fizz, while sparkling wine has larger, coarser bubbles.
You can also notice a difference in taste, as the second fermentation and aging of MCC produce more creamy, yeasty, and nutty notes like brioche.
There are no specific rules for carbonation in sparkling wines, which is why they are usually an affordable way to enjoy a bubbly treat.
